APA FORMAT 2 InText Cited references Nursing Perspective Section of article concering performance evaluation below Consider the performance evaluation review from two perspectives, as an employee and as an employer. Identify two strategies for improving the process of evaluation from both of these perspectives. You may consider your own experience in answering this reflection. Performance Evaluation As a nursing professional, you may have already had or will have in the near future an opportunity to participate in performance evaluations. As a manager or director, you may be charged with completing evaluations of employee performance. As an employee, you may have to do a self-evaluation, which is part and parcel of the evaluation process. Ideally, and if done well, the goal of a performance evaluation is to stimulate motivation in performing the responsibilities of the position, highlight successes, and also blaze a path for new initiatives and goals in the next appraisal period. As you review Chapter 18 in Roussel, Thomas, and Harris (2016) consider your own experiences with performance evaluations. Have they been personally motivating and inspiring? If not, why? It is important to prepare for an evaluation, and doing a self-appraisal helps to highlight achievements and also helps the employee to focus on new plans and goals. The job description is a guide that lays out performance expectations, and both the manager and the employee should be well versed in terms of its content. Using the job description to highlight achievements keeps the appraisal focused and helps to prevent drifting to other topics that may not be relevant or pertinent to the performance appraisal.

Here are a few famous researchers and celebrities that had their DNA sequenced. By 2007, individuals began to have their genomes sequenced, and speak and write about it. Dr. Venter was first, his genome presented in PLoS Biology. He pondered the implications at the American Society of Human Genetics annual meeting a year later. Dr. Venter learned from his genome sequence that he has blue eyes and a tendency toward antisocial behavior, substance abuse, and novelty seeking. He found out hes a fast caffeine metabolizer. I can have two double lattes and wash it down with a Red Bull and not be affected by it, he snarkily told the crowd. He also learned of elevated risk for Alzheimer disease and cardiovascular disease. Next came James Watson, PhD, of double helix fame and first head of the human genome project. He discussed his genome at the 12th International Congress of Human Genetics in Montreal in October 2011. Dr. Watson learned he was a slow metabolizer of antipsychotics and beta blockers. His son nearly died from an antipsychotic. So I now know that if I go psychotic, I cant take those drugs. And he learned why beta blockers for an irregular heartbeat knocked him out. He switched drugs. Ron Crystal, chairman of genetic medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College, had his genome sequenced to provide a control in a project to sequence the genomes of the people of Qatar. He discovered a mutation that explained his heavy bleeding following an injury from rappelling off a frozen waterfall a few years ago. He also discovered Viking roots, a recessive disease of children, and confirmed his baldness. But he voiced fears: his family learning things they didnt want to know, even someone using his DNA sequence to frame him for a crime or to clone him. Dr. Ron Crystal isnt the only one to cite potential repercussions of knowing ones genome sequence. Said Seong-Jin Kim, the first Korean to have his genome sequenced, and that of his wife and two daughters. Genetic disease in Korea is thought to disgrace families, and so its difficult to convince families with diseases to be sequenced. A bad result could be regarded as a curse. But he was interested in using sequencing to better understand gastric cancer, which is the most common form in Asia. Did it change attitudes? After we released our sequence, the number of sequencing companies increased. Steve Jobs (CEO of Apple) and Christopher Hitchens (famous author) had their cancer genomes sequenced, pancreatic and esophageal, respectively, and the information guided drug choices. (Steve Jobs died of pancreatic cancer Christopher Hichens died of esophageal cancer) Henry Louis Gates Jr. (Host of Finding Your Roots) had his done to trace his ancestry. Glenn Close (Actress) reportedly did it to better understand mental illness in her family, Would you want your genome sequenced? Why or why not.

Chapter 8 study questions #1, 2 and Exercise 8.2 – see attached pdf. Instructors Instructions: Points will be based on: (a) answering the assigned questions on time; (b) completeness of content and analysis; (c) readability; (d) citations. Note: Discuss means to investigate and consider the pros and cons, analyze means examine in detail for purposes of explanation or interpretation. Bullet points may suffice for a what question, but not for others. While quantity is not a determinant of quality it is a real component and you should aim for a minimum of 275 words.
